Another mono/stereo speaker comment and question. Fred KE7X covers this topic well in his reference, as does Elecraft in their Owner's manual...to some extent.
Above noted earlier " I have a Radio Shack P/N 274-0374 1/8" Mono Jack to 1/8 Stereo Plug Adapter stuck in the back of my K3. It feeds the mono plug to my ICOM SP 20." That particular adapter shorts the tip (left speaker feed) and the ring (next up the plug; right speaker feed) when a monaural plug is inserted. When OHM'd out the sleeve (third up the plug and metal body) sees 8 ohms between either the tip or ring when connected to the single monaural speaker (because they're shorted). Question for those that better understand the Elecraft's audio wiring: Will shorting the left and right speaker channels cause harm when they see the same 8 ohm source? 73, Gary NL7Y PS: Alternatively I can install a Radio Shack 274-375 dual mono to stereo adapter, or a simple stereo plug on my mono cord. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Speakers-audio-is-gone-tp7581916p7581946.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
